We promised that we'd keep an eye out for butterflies on our First-Sunday walk, and we had great luck at Jill's Butterfly Garden — recording at least 10 butterfly species and a Hummingbird Clear-winged Moth and an Ailanthus Webworm Moth.

Works in several mediums by new and emerging artists will be on display at the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission’s (NJMC) Flyway Gallery in DeKorte Park during August and September.(The work above, untitled, is by Rene Fressola.)

The exhibit, “Emerging Artists: Now and New,” is presented by the Bergen Museum of Art & Science and runs today to Friday, Sept. 28.

The show includes 40abstract paintings, oil works, acrylics, mixed media and sculptures.

A reception for the artists with music provided by the New Horizon Symphony Chamber String Trio is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
